Does anyone know if the cycle wings are left and right handed and whether they need to be fitted a specific way round. I took mine off for
reinforcing and prep redy for painting then realised i'd somehow managed to rub out the identifying marks like a daft git.
I'm going to be using the car quite a bit on the road when ive finished the colour change. Does anyone have any suggestions for sourcing a spare
wheel bracket to go on the back and would a standard scissor jack do the job for kerbside wheel changing ?
Generally theyre universal unless theyre a specific design like the CSR wings. Have they not got the fixing holes still present?
Personally I would follow the trend of most car manufacturers and sacrifice the spare wheel (and jack) for a tin of puncture repair. It would be a lot
easier to store a can (or two) than it would to carry a spare wheel.
The 'widowmaker' jacks that you're referring to are designed to lock into a certain place on the car to stay upright, either an indent
in the sill seam or other similar jacking point. On a smooth surface like the underside of a kit car they would be extremely unstable and almost
guaranteed to collapse. Unless of course you put some jacking points on to your car?
+1 for the puncture repair stuff, that's what I intend to use when mine's finished.
I would have thought that the scissor jack would be OK if you fixed a solid block of rubber to the lifting face? Just need to be sure it won't
rock side to side.

Scissor jacks are available that are not designed for a specific type of jacking point, but instead have a normal 'cup' (l;ike a small trolley jack) which can be used on chassis rails etc. Machine Mart sell a scissor jack like this.
